Talk:SS Cape Mohican (T-AKR-5065)

2001: Cape Mo runs aground off east coast of S.Korea
On May 21, 2001, the SS Cape Mohican (T-AKR 5065) was participating in an exercise at Chilpo Beach, just north of Pohang, South Korea. While in the harbor, heavy winds caused her to drag anchor approximately 150 feet and run aground on rocks, causing damage to her hull and internal tanks (Department of the Army, 2004). This damage required salvage work and emergency dry-docking along with 1500 tons of steel to make her seaworthy again (American Society of Naval Engineers, 2004).
